At this time I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, and all others who have shown a spirit of co-operation toward my department.

REPORT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
January 2, 1935.
To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree:
The Board of Health hereby submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1934.
We have tried to do our best work during the past year to improve the general health conditions in the town, and to investigate all cases of unsanitary con- ditions reported to us. Our Agent, Mr. Mortimer Peck, has done most satisfactory and efficient work for us along this line, and we take this opportunity to express our appreciation of his services.
In December we printed new Rules and Regula-' tions of the Board of Health, combined with new Rules and Regulations for Plumbing. This is the first time since 1929 that new Rules and Regulations have been printed, and several changes have been made, ' particularly in the quarantine requirements. We have adopted the requirements' recommended by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and ap- proved by the Massachusetts Association of Boards of Health. These regulations will be published in the Braintree Citizen on January 11, 1935.
At the diphtheria clinic in May, 431 children were treated, 119 of whom were pre-school children. 377 were given all three inoculations, and 54 children re- ceived less than three. The fact that only two cases of diphtheria"were reported during the year - and one of those was a Boston child who was visiting rela-
278
tives here-is adequate proof that we are well repaid for the comparatively small amount of money spent each year for the diphtheria clinic.
A study of the tabulation of reported diseases dangerous to the public health, which follows this re- port, will show that 1934 was a "measles year". 290 cases were reported, compared with 10 reported in 1933. This condition was prevalent everywhere, and it was anticipated, because statistics have proven that measles runs in cycles, and that we may expect an epidemic regularly. We also had many cases of mumps reported, and we know there were many other cases which were not reported to the Board. We urge that any case of contagious disease in a family be re- ported to the Board by the family if no doctor has been called, in order that a record may be kept of it.
The Chadwick Clinic is still being conducted by the State under the ten-year program. X-rays and physical examinations are given once a year, and every three months Miss Collins, the school nurse, weighs and measures the children on this list. During 1935 the State proposes to start a new 10-year pro- gram on this very valuable tuberculosis clinic.
For two years no money has been appropriated by the Town for follow-up work in tuberculosis, and as a result a rather bad condition exists because no follow-up work can be done on tuberculosis cases and contracts.
The Norfolk County Health Association is to have a representative here for part-time work start- ing the first of January and to continue until we can have money appropriated to take care of the work. She will go over the records and bring them up to date, look up case histories, and make as many visits
279
as her limited time will allow. This is done by the Norfolk County Health Association with the money received from the sale of Christmas seals. The serv- ice is only temporary, and our need is even greater than ever for an appropriation with which we can arrange to have the work carried on from where they leave off.
We wish to acknowledge here the splendid co- operation of Dr. Pillsbury, Superintendent of the Nor- folk County Hospital, who has helped us a great deal with the State subsidies for Braintree residents at the hospital. At the present time we are receiving sub- sidy for each patient at the hospital who has a Brain- tree settlement.
The licenses to sell denatured alcohol, which have been issued by the Board of Health in the past, are now issued by the Board of Selectmen, as required by a state law passed last spring. This department will still issue licenses for methyl and wood alcohol.
We wish to thank the Park Commissioners for opening a public dump at the Watson Park in East Braintree, thus relieving a very bad situation in that part of the town.
For the first time in several years the Board of Health was able to stay within its appropriation in 1934, and there are no 1934 bills outstanding. We hope that for 1935 the Town will again appropriate an adequate amount.
We have asked for money for a dental clinic for 1935. This is needed very badly, because no dental work has been done in the schools for two years. We recommend that this fund be turned over to the School Department, because we believe they can
280
handle it more efficiently and with less loss of time and money, because of course the children treated are school children, and the work is really part of a child health program.
We wish to acknowledge with much appreciation the generosity and co-operation of the School Com- mittee and Mr. Fisher, Superintendent, in permitting us to use their office, and in allowing their secretary to take care of our clerical work.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. ATKINSON, Chairman DWIGHT A. CHANDLER THOMAS J. HENSHON, Clerk Board of Health.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
January 2, 1935.
To the Board of Health of the Town of Braintree:
Gentlemen :
I hereby submit my report as Milk Inspector for the Town of Braintree for 1934:
Permits issued 87
No cases of milk born disease have been reported during the year.
Most of the milk sold in Braintree is handled by the larger distributors. There are, however, a few smaller concerns whose milk, together with that of the larger distributor, should be periodically analysed and the results published the local papers. I recom- mend that a sum of money be appropriated for this work.
Respectfully submitted,
MORTIMER N. PECK Milk Inspector.

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners submit the Annual Report of the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1934.
The Purification or Filtration Plant at Great Pond was put in operation in May, 1934.
On May 16, 1934 filtered water was first delivered from the plant, which has been operated without in- teruption since that time.
The plant was erected and put in operation at a cost within the amount appropriated.
The plant could not, so we are informed, be repro- duced today without the expenditure of a sum of money far greater than what we spent on the con- struction of it.
Braintree citizens, instead of making apologies for, as formerly, can now really brag about the water being served them.
We have completed three major extensions of water main projects: - Granite Street, Sunny Side Park and Penns Hill.
These projects were done as ERA Projects and at a saving to the town as the Water Department fur- nished the material and the ERA provided the labor.
We are also beautifying the grounds at Little Pond and the new Filtration Plant as ERA Projects.
When the above projects are completed, Braintree should have the grounds around its Water Plants in a condition which will compare favorable to other Water Plants, municipal or private.
Following are the reports of the Treasurer, Secre- tary, Registrar, Collector, and Superintendent.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO WATER TAKERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS
In accordance with the provisions of a recent Act of the Massachusetts Legislature, accepted by the Town of Braintree.
UNPAID WATER BILLS ARE A LIEN ON REAL ESTATE and payment of same can be enforced through sale of the property by the Tax Collector in the same manner as in the collection of taxes.
The practice of SHUTTING OFF the supply for NON-PAYMENT of DELINQUENT BILLS is NOT AFFECTED by the lien law in any way.
All water bills are "DELINQUENT" if not paid within TWENTY DAYS after they are rendered and become due.
CHANGING OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
When buying or selling real estate it is important that ADJUSTMENT of WATER BILLS be made as of date of transfer in like manner as for taxes.
To assist in making such adjustments the Water Department Office will gladly furnish meter readings and other desired information upon application.
The names and addresses of new owners should be given PROMPTLY to the Water Office, in order that ensuing bills may be properly rendered and possible unnecessary expense and annoyance avoided.
291
We desire to express our appreciation to those conveyancers who - without the incentive of a lien law-have previously provided for such adjustments of water rates in the transfer of property and request a general similar co-operation in future transfers of property to the mutual advantage of all concerned.
H. W. MACOMBER,
Water Registrar.
